I attributed a great deal of this to shyness and to her secluded lifeâ€"for the only per- son she had to speak to was that terrible old Teresa. Although every word and action of Paul- ine's told me she was well-educated and well~hrsd, I was certainly surprised at her ignorance of literature. I quoted an author. mentioned a book by name, the remark passed unnoticed ; or she looked at me as it puzzled by my allusion. or distressed at her own ignorance.

I knew she was my enemy; that she had discovered my feelings toward Pauline and was doing her best to keep us apart. I had no means of knowing the extent of her power or influenoe over the girl, but I had some time since ceased to regard her as nothing more than a servant. The intelli- gence that my tellow~lodgers were about to quit showed me that to bring my love for Pauline to a successful issue, I must in some way make matters straight with this unpleasant old attendant._ uu Ivâ€"Iâ€"n-v '._ _-_-_vv That same evening. as I heard her oom- ing down the eteire.
